+- [Packer](https://www.packer.io/):
 
-## Usage Instructions
+    ```bash
+    brew install packer
+    ```
 
-TODO
+- [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/):
 
-## Building Instructions
+    ```bash
+    # You may need to install rosetta first
+    # sudo softwareupdate --install-rosetta
+    brew install --cask vagrant
+    ```
 
-The VM images are built with Packer and VMWare Fusion. Each subdirectory in this repo contains all the files needed to build the base box. The easiest way of building the box is to run the `buildbox.sh` command. This will start Packer and build the image, then compact the image into a box and print the checksum.
+- [VMware Fusion](https://customerconnect.vmware.com/en/evalcenter?p=fusion-player-personal-13)
+- [Vagrant VMware Utility](https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/vagrant-vmware-utility):
+
+    ```bash
+    brew install --cask vagrant-vmware-utility
+    ```
+
+- [Vagrant VMware provider plugin](https://developer.hashicorp.com/vagrant/docs/providers/vmware/installation):
+
+    ```bash
+    vagrant plugin install vagrant-vmware-desktop
+    ```
+
+## Usage
+
+1. Use the `buildbox.sh` script in each directory to build the box and add it to Vagrant:
+
+   ```bash
+   chmod +x ./buildbox.sh && ./buildbox.sh
+   ```
+
+2. Start the VM with Vagrant:
+
+   ```bash
+   vagrant up
+   ```
+
+Enjoy! ✨🚀
